You really have no idea what you started tonight.” I laughed when Santino said that. I thought he was bluffing. After all, I was the one holding the rope, the one who drugged him, and the one who dragged him to an abandoned hideout as part of a stupid graduation bet. One stupid story to tell my friends before I left Vespera forever. But Santino wasn’t just some rich, mysterious boy from school. He was Santino De Vas. The heir to the Mafia empire that secretly controls half of Vespera. Six days later, I kissed him. Somehow, the boy I kidn*pped became the only person who ever made me feel safe. So I did the one thing I swore I'd never do. I ran. Because loving Santino meant becoming part of a world where people disappear for knowing too much, and I’d spent my entire life fighting to control my own future. I thought leaving Santino behind would end the biggest mistake of my life. Instead, he found me. And suddenly, I’m trapped inside his Mafia world, carrying his child and surrounded by enemies who would gladly kill me to protect their secrets. Then the pendant I’ve worn since childhood reveals the truth I never knew existed. I'm not an orphan. I'm the long-lost heiress of the Vitale Mafia family. And someone inside Santino’s family has just decided that I need to die before the truth comes out.
